Episode 140: Boundaries with Spouses, Family, and Religious Leaders
In a recent podcast episode with Jessica Farmer, we delved deep into the purpose of disclosure and how to navigate disclosing aspects of your porn habit with loved ones. However, a conversation we need to have in parallel to disclosure is about boundaries. It’s a topic we aren’t taught enough about, especially when it comes to porn use.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of punishing yourself if you’re struggling with viewing porn. You might find yourself engaged in conversations with your spouse, family, friends, or religious leaders that are in breach of what feels safe to you. Whether they’re leaning on fear and shame tactics or want to know details you aren’t comfortable sharing, you are allowed to set boundaries while building deep connections and trust with those people.
Join me this week to learn how boundaries can work in tandem with building honesty and transparency with the people you care about. You are the authority on your spiritual well-being, and I’m showing you how to make aligned decisions, even if that means setting boundaries in your relationships.
